Travel | New Orleans Roadtrip Wedding Weekend

Tessa and Madi (aka ReelFeels ) had a wedding in New Orleans which turned into a couple’s road trip. We rented an SUV and drove from Orlando to the Big Easy, which took about 10 hours with one lunch break and a handful of bathroom stops. I was the only one that had been to New Orleans before, it was everyone’s first time.

Day 1, it rained…and rained…and rained. So we did not get to explore much. We pretty much barhopped around the French Quarter.

Day 2, we got to explore some more. We found and tasted some every cool vegan restaurant in New Orleans. I’m not vegan, but both Tessa and Madi are, and it was a bit of challenge to find vegan-friendly food, being the south and all. Me, I enjoyed all the food New Orleans had to offer. We ended the second day by going to the wedding rehearsal dinner which was also a crawfish boil. That was delicious!!

Day 3 the girls had their wedding and the boys had a day off to explore on our own, which for me meant visiting every record store I fit in one day. Their wedding had a second line and everything which was amazing, we got to join in. And then after the wedding, we started our drive back to Florida. We decided to leave that night and split the trip up into two days this time.
